chapter 217 - She’s Upset
“Don’t imitate the way I speak in the future.”
Mo Si stood up and looked down at Mo Chengyu. “It’s easy to get hit.”
After saying this, Mo Si quickly went upstairs.
Downstairs, Mo Chengyu was chatting with Zuo Kai.
Zuo Kai then realized that the Minister was imitating the General.
“Minister, why do you always tease the General?”
“Of course, because my brother is fun to tease.” Mo Chengyu cupped her face, her tone somewhat distant. “Speaking of which, my brother also joined the army at 16, a child without a childhood.”
“Joining so early, his life must have lacked a lot of joy. I want to bring him some happiness!”
Zuo Kai: …So who is actually happier?
Mo Si, who had already gone upstairs, opened the window.
Being very close to Jiang Qiuqiu’s house, once the window was opened, the winter wind brought the aroma of food, allowing Mo Si to guess what Jiang Qiuqiu was cooking.
With the fragrance filling his nose, he couldn’t help but recall the recent scene.
He knew that Mo Chengyu’s imitation of him was somewhat exaggerated; he couldn’t be that irritating.
But seeing his actions from another perspective, Mo Si had some different thoughts.
After thinking for a while, he opened his terminal and sent a message to Jiang Qiuqiu.
The response came back quickly, as fast as usual.
—No! I’m fine!!
—Thank you, it’s no trouble at all!
—Once I pass the test, I’ll definitely treat you and Sister Chengyu to a big meal!
The response was quick, but Mo Si felt that today’s reply was different from usual. He slid his hand up and looked at their past conversations.
—Haha, not at all, why would you think that?
—See you tomorrow, I had a great time today.
—You taught very well, and I learned a lot!
—Uh-huh, I understand.
After evaluating, Mo Si realized she had become more polite.
Rounding it off: she seemed a bit upset.
Being brave and responsible, Mo Si decided to apologize in person.
He went downstairs, passed by Mo Chengyu, who was looking at blueprints, and walked straight out. Soon, the sound of the door opening and closing was heard.
“Wow, he left so quickly?”
“Is he going to find little cutie Qiuqiu?” Mo Chengyu hissed as she kicked the insulated lunchbox under the sofa. Curious, she picked it up and found it was still heavy.
When she opened it, she found bamboo shoots inside! Her eyes lit up as she noticed another detail.
Hmm, the lunchbox was full and untouched.
Usually, Qiuqiu would go home during lunch. This means the lunchbox had been here for almost four hours, and Mo Si had been sitting in this spot when she got back.
As soon as she got home, he urgently asked her those questions. Was he that anxious, that concerned?
She touched her chin, feeling like her mind was connecting many insignificant movies.
But it was really strange.
She showed a pensive expression.
Mo Si had no idea what Mo Chengyu was thinking. At this moment, he was already at Jiang Qiuqiu’s doorstep. Determined to apologize, he hesitated only for a moment before starting to knock on the door.
The rhythmic knocking sounded, and Jiang Qiuqiu, who was in the kitchen frying crispy meat, waited a bit before taking the meat out of the oil and going to open the door.
“Hei Dong, what brings you here?” She thought it was a robot from Taotao Fresh.
“I have something to talk to you about.”
It was evening, and the glow of the setting sun bathed the man in light. He stood tall and elegant in front of her. Without needing many words, the atmosphere was already romantic enough.
Jiang Qiuqiu suddenly felt it was quite normal for her to overthink things.
…Ah, romantic!
“What is it? Why don’t you come in and say it?” Jiang Qiuqiu pulled the door open. “Standing at the door is kind of weird.”
Mo Si walked into Jiang Qiuqiu’s house.
